"Zizhong went back to Xuzhou this time, did anything happen at home", Liu Yi asked suspiciously, if it wasn't for something big happening at home, Mi Zhu would not normally go back, after all, there are still many things to deal with in Mi Zhu in Qingzhou, and the matter of selling salt alone is enough for him to be busy.

"It's not Cao Bao yet, the Mi family doesn't know how to offend him, and recently embarrassed the younger brother, the Cao family is a local family in Xuzhou, we have no choice but to make amends, alas", Mi Zhu smiled helplessly, although the Mi family is a business family in the world, but the right in Xuzhou is really not as good as the local power Cao Bao, speaking of which is still a businessman is despised, this year the money is not very useful, Mi Zhu is also very helpless.

"Cao Bao, it seems that Zizhong is not going well in Xuzhou, according to me, it is better to bring your family to Qingzhou, you are now the god of wealth of Xuande Gong, who dares to move you in Qingzhou", Liu Yi heard Mi Zhu's complaints, and couldn't help but move in his heart, it seems that one of Liu Bei's wives is Mi Zhu's sister, in this life, because Liu Bei did not accept Xuzhou, Mi Zhu did not marry his sister to Liu Bei, but if it continues to develop like this, Mi Zhu will definitely be able to see Liu Bei's prospects, and it is indispensable to marry his sister to Liu Bei, After all, this is the most convenient way for the Mi family to join the ranks of the family.

"Let's take a look and talk about it", Mi Zhu was a little moved, Mi Zhu has always had little confidence, after all, the businessman is too lowly, although Liu Yi asked him to cooperate with the money earned from selling salt to help Liu Bei, but Mi Zhu didn't think that he was very important to Liu Bei in his heart, and when he heard Liu Yi mention it today, he thought that the situation in Xuzhou's hometown was not very good, and there was nothing bad about moving to Qingzhou.

"Well, Zizhong think about it", Liu Yi took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Cao Bao is a person, there are a lot of dramas.

In the romance, Liu Bei lost Xuzhou twice because of Cao Bao, Liu Bei's own strength was too weak, and the powers did not give Liu Bei the time and space to run Xuzhou. This will be followed by the later events such as welcoming Lu Bu into Xiaopei and Zhang Fei killing Cao Bao.

Xuzhou was a large state with a population of one million at that time, and Xuzhou had fewer wars in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, and was a relatively wealthy state and county, but Xuzhou was flat and there was no danger to defend in the territory.

Tao Qian asked Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou before he died, Liu Bei led the army to be stationed in Xiaopei at that time, he really wanted to do this Xuzhou assassin history, and he really wanted to own the territory of a state. But at that time, Liu Bei's strength was very weak, and he didn't have the strength to control a state at all, so don't drive Chen Qun to dissuade Liu Bei and say: "Yuan Shu's power is still very strong now, if you go east to Xuzhou now, Yuan Shu will definitely come to compete with you." If Lu Bu attacks the general's back road, even if the general gets Xuzhou, the matter will definitely not succeed. It's a pity that Liu Bei didn't take Chen Qun's suggestion, after all, this is a rare opportunity, even if there is danger, Liu Bei must go, otherwise how can he realize the great ambition in his heart.

When Liu Bei lost Xuzhou for the first time, many people thought that Liu Bei should not contain Lu Bu, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and it is impossible for Liu Bei not to understand this truth. But at that time, Liu Bei had just taken over Xuzhou, and he had not completely digested the Xuzhou forces, especially the Xuzhou military forces headed by Cao Bao.

Moreover, there are deep contradictions with Liu Bei Group, and Zhang Fei's killing of Cao Bao is essentially the result of irreconcilable contradictions between Liu Bei Group and the local forces in Xuzhou. Surrounded by strong enemies, war can break out at any time. Containing Lu Bu could deter the hostile forces at that time, and it did play some role at that time, but the result was unsatisfactory, and in the end it was roughly the same as Chen Qun expected, in which Cao Bao's role can be said to be a link between the previous and the next. An operation made Liu Bei's scalp tingle, there was no way, Liu Bei's strength was not enough, so he could only watch Cao Bao jump around.

Of course, the second time he lost Xuzhou, he was completely crushed by Cao Cao's strength, Cao Cao fought on two sides, on the one hand, against Yuan Shao's attack, and on the other hand, he beat Liu Bei to the point of losing his armor. Liu Bei's career in Xuzhou could not be successful, and it was true that Xuzhou's local forces were strong and external relations were complicated, but the fundamental reason was that Liu Bei's own strength was weak and unable to operate Xuzhou. Xuzhou in the context of the time, only with strong military strength can eat this piece of fat, otherwise you can only be choked to death, after all, the local forces are stubborn, and diehards like Cao Bao must be deterred by force, Liu Yi wrote it down in his heart, Xuzhou is indispensable to take a trip, after all, that incident is coming.

"Ziang, Ziang, did you have any instructions for coming to me a few days ago", Mi Zhu saw that Liu Yi was in a daze again, and couldn't help interrupting, if he continued to be in a daze like this, he didn't know when it would end.

"Well, yes, there is indeed an important thing", Liu Yi smiled awkwardly, and fell into thinking as he spoke, this problem has to be corrected, more than once, I remember that Mi Zhu reminded him several times.

"Well, Ziang said, the Mi family who can do it must do their best", Mi Zhu said with a smile, Liu Yi was also used to wandering from time to time at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking about all day, maybe it was because he often thought about so many strange things, salt-making, paper-making, book printing, and recently opened Qingzhou Academy, one by one things made Mi Zhu marvel.

"I don't know if the Mi family's business is used to get to the merchant ship", Liu Yi raised his head and asked with a smile, he got used to it after a while, after all, his face has been tempered a thousand times.

"Merchant ships? Mijia does business all over the country, of course, there are also times when they take water transportation, and there are some merchant ships, but they are not particularly large, after all, there is no technology, and under normal circumstances, large merchant ships are not bought by money", Mi Zhu said without hesitation, Mi Jia's business is all over the world, naturally indispensable in the southern waters, and merchant ships are an indispensable part.

"It's good to have it, Xuande Gong wants to transport some grain from Qingzhou to Youzhou by sea, maybe he can transport some war horses when he comes, the ship doesn't need to be too big, just enough", Liu Yi said with a smile, there is no big ship without a big ship, as long as there is a ship with experience in water transportation.

"Sea freight? Go to Youzhou, to that place in western Liaoning", Mi Zhu looked embarrassed.

"Yes, it's Liaoxi, what is the difficulty of Zizhong", Liu Yi asked suspiciously, looking at Mi Zhu's expression, he knew that something was wrong.

"Once the Mi family also thought about taking that sea route to Youzhou to buy some war horses, but they lost half of the caravan and never went again", Mi Zhu said with a crying face, remembering some not very good things.

"Zizhong wanted to sail straight to Youzhou at that time", Liu Yi was stunned when he heard it, but he felt that something was wrong, and asked.

"That's right, after all, walking in a straight line is the most time-saving", Mi Zhu nodded, it was indeed a straight line at the beginning, the sea was too dangerous, there was no experience at all, of course I wanted to go ashore as soon as possible.

"Zizhong is confused, the sea is such a mysterious place, you dare to go deep and walk in a straight line, the danger has not only doubled", Liu Yi shook his head and said with a smile, the ancient navigation technology and the technical level of the ship are indeed difficult to navigate in the deep sea.

"Please also ask Ziang to teach me", Mi Zhu listened to Liu Yi's words, and his heart was suddenly happy, is there a way to avoid danger? You must know that the Mi family has been coveting war horses for a long time, and has long wanted to find a way to buy war horses, that time to Youzhou is a desperate risk, if you can really reach Youzhou with a small loss, then the Mi family can have one more trade route, and it is also a war horse business that robs money, in this troubled world, don't worry about no market, how not excited.
